Six Sigma > Product Report

Generates various benchmark statistics for the product. This report combines measures (defect counts, number of units, and number of opportunities) from many characteristics into a product capability, or measures from many products into a "business capability." See Calculations for more information.

To generate process capability reports for a single quality characteristic of a product, see Process Report.

Dialog box items

Defects: Enter the column containing the number of defects.

Units: Enter the column containing the number of units.

Opportunities per unit: Enter the column containing the number of opportunities per unit.

Components (optional): Enter the column containing names for the components. The name column must contain one row for each component. If you do not provide names, Minitab numbers the components in both the Graph window and Session window output.

Complexity (optional): Enter the column containing the count of each lower level component that is used to make one higher level component. Or you may enter constants to represent these values. For example, to make one brake assembly (high level component), you need 2 pads, 2 backings, 2 pistons, 2 covers, 1 caliper, and 1 rotor (low level components).

Shift factors (optional): Enter the Z.Shift values for the components. You can enter either a single Z.Shift value to use for all components, or a column of Z.Shift values, one for each component. For example, you may want to use a set of Z.Shift values you produced with Process Report. The default is 1.5.

Number of base unit (optional): Enter a constant to represent the number of units of combined product. By default, this is the smallest number of the high level component that can be made from the observed numbers of lower level components. For example, if we observe 51 pads, 80 backings, 68 pistons, 71 covers, 27 calipers, and 33 rotors, the default number of base units is 25.
